The reason lies in the unique terroir high up in the Andalusian Alpujarras and in the craftsmanship of the Valenzuela family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"812\"\u003eIn the late 1990s, Manuel Valenzuela planted 300 vines there. At over 1,200 meters above sea level and with annual rainfall of barely 450 millimeters (most of it falling in winter), yields are extremely low. Yet the few berries that are harvested are rich in extract and highly concentrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"1116\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe grapes are fermented without temperature control and without any additives whatsoever. The wine is neither fined nor sulphured; only a coarse filtration is carried out before bottling. “El Canto del Mirlo” is matured for well over a year in used barriques, followed by several more years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"40\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"14\" data-end=\"17\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Grape Variety\u003c\/strong\u003e: Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"42\" data-end=\"523\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Only sulfur, copper, and preparations based on plant or animal substances; not certified\u003cbr data-start=\"148\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slate soils, minimal yield of 1 kg per vine\u003cbr data-start=\"204\" data-end=\"207\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand-picked\u003cbr data-start=\"227\" data-end=\"230\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spontaneous | wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks\u003cbr data-start=\"294\" data-end=\"297\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 months in barriques\u003cbr data-start=\"326\" data-end=\"329\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003cbr data-start=\"344\" data-end=\"347\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e No added sulfur\u003cbr data-start=\"367\" data-end=\"370\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14%\u003cbr data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"385\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural cork\u003cbr data-start=\"406\" data-end=\"409\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16–18°C\u003cbr data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"440\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e: Now – 2032\u003cbr data-start=\"475\" data-end=\"478\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume and Price per Liter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 L\/(€24.87\/L)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barranco Oscuro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52936402239824,"sku":null,"price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/7305\/9397\/files\/ElCantodelMirlo.jpg?v=1776926693","url":"https:\/\/vinonudo.at\/en\/products\/el-canto-del-mirlo","provider":"vinonudo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
